Public Records

In late 2008 reporters organized by the Florida Society of Newspaper Editors requested the most recent budget emails from central Florida county officials in order to audit the responses.

St Lucie County failed the audit because an employee asked the requestor why they wanted the e-mails. The law does not require those requesting public documents to give a reason as to why they want them. County Sheriff Ken Mascara said that this was a mistake made by an overzealous employee.[14]
